it is strongly encouraged to add metadata in the application’s source repo for for the following reasons:
- The application’s metadata is under direct control of the repository owners
- Metadata from the repository is copied to the F-Droid repo automatically (thus no merge requests are needed)
- It is the only way to provide images, such as the app icon or screenshots
In F-Droid client, since release 1.6, only applications that have all of the following are shown on the Latest tab:
- Name
- Icon
- Summary
- Description
- License
- a What’s New entry for at least one release
- at least one graphic (screenshot or a feature graphic)
- at least one of the above translated

On IzzyOnDroid, where you publish, the rules are most likely slightly different. But in any case, you don't have metadata files for different languages that I (or anyone else) could translate into a language other than English.
